Hi again, one more hurdle before I make the purchase, I have a Full ATX Black Armor ThermalTake Tower that has 10 External 5.25" Drive Bays, 2 - external 3.5", 6 internal - 3.5" Internal, and 7 Expansion slots.

I will be buying 2 5" SATA Drives.

Most SATA DVD Drives have a Form Factor of 5", and it will go in a 5.25" drive bay, Do I need to buy any special Brackets or Mounting Plates for it to fit correctly or does it pop right in, Thanks

The 5" form factor quoted... well its just short hand for 5.25"

You dont need anything special to install the drives.
